After a winter of messing with too many other projects I finally got around to getting my MC28 ready for the road. The main hold up was thee lack of PGM card. For the record, Slip Stream of Au. did the best deal at about $200 US., and just under 8 weeks to my door.

My questions are.
Oil....? We run Klotz R50 in my son's racing kart w/Yamaha KT100. What should I run in the 28? Would you recommend synthetic or castor?

Plugs...? Not sure what is it now other than they are NGK's, but what do you people who are in the know recommend?

Brake Fluid...? Dot5 ? If not, then what?

Almost forgot about the clutch... I read that it's supposed to be a wet clutch (mine is a R) but it rattles like mad, like a dry. We run both wet and dry in our karts so I'm somewhat familiar. Without taking it apart how might I know which it is? Could it be a wet clutch run out of fluid? (The bike sat for about a year before I bought it) When we kart race we spend so much attention to th clutch I never heard a wet run dry.

Lastly, I was trying to figure out what the loose screw extending out from under the fairing below the tank petcock. I thought it might be a screw used to plug a drain hose but after turning it back and forth a few times I realized it was a remote carb tuning adjustment. I assume low speed circuit? Can someone tell me the initial setting for it? And confirm what it is.

I ran it up and down the road for a few miles and I can see having a blast on it! I just want to make sure all is right before I run it much. I'd hate to stick a piston. NSR's are hard to come by in the US and I'm sure their parts are as well.

I appreciate the help getting me on the road.

Thanks,
Dan.
